Keep Running (Part 9)

[Jet Star]
I believed him and I did forgive him, I didn't want to talk to him. He walked behind me staying silent. “Were do you think the other two are?” I asked. He looked up at me and seemed surprised that I was speaking to him. He just shrugged his shoulders. We had no idea where we were going. I opened up a door just to see if Poison and Kobra were about. As I looked through the cold, dark room I saw a a figure hiding in the shadows. “Hey, Ghoul. Come check this out” I said. I had no idea who or what it was but we went in anyway. Fun Ghoul pulled out his lighter and shone it on the figure. I saw a young girl gagged and tied up she looked scared of me and Ghoul and tried to hide her face. I couldn't believe it. It was Skyrah, the young girl who went missing about a month ago. I stroked her hair. There were tears pouring out of her eyes. “It's okay” I said. “We're not here to hurt you.” I pulled the gag out her mouth and untied the ropes. She looked terrified. “What are you doing here?” Fun Ghoul asked still shining the flame over her face. She kept quiet. “Come on. Now we really have to find the others.” I said getting up from the floor. Me and Fun Ghoul headed for the door but Skyrah stayed hiding in the corner. “Are you coming?” I asked. She looked up at me and smiled. I walked up to her and offered her my hand to help her up. Her shacking hand touched mine I pulled her up to her feet. “I'm Jet Star and this is Fun Ghoul” I said. She smiled. “I'm Blood Heart” she said softly. We walked out of the room, Blood Heart was such a pretty girl, I can't understand why people would do this to a young girl. I noticed a slash across her left cheek, it looked painful. “How did you do that?” I asked sounding concerned. She placed her hand over the cut and pretended nothing was said. “I...I um don't remember” she stuttered. We continued to walk down the narrow corridor the others couldn't be that far away.
